Richard Wright gave voice to being an "outsider." That and his opposition to post-1945 colonialism led to his own exile. Fred Ho's African and Asian themes in music and activism simultaneously reflect both cultures. Grace Lee and James Boggs turned their individual cultures and politics into a powerful partnership. Denying the exclusive nature of race asserted by Said, Mullen (English, U. of Texas, San Antonio) examines political solidarity between Americans of African and Asian descent, finding experiencing the same racism often resulted in the same brand of politics. He traces the influence of Dubois's "The World problem of the Color Line" and the pivotal Bandung Conference of 1955 and the results, such as Robert F. Williams's urging Mao to denounce racism is the US and to support black radicals. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
